Lincoln Riley and the Sooners have had a knack for finding gems in the rough in recent years, and the 2021 class is no different.
Four Oklahoma recruiting targets have been updated from four stars to five according to the most recent update from Rivals.com.
Quarterback Caleb Williams, running back Camar Wheaton, offensive guard Bryce Foster and wide receiver Mario Williams have all been upgraded to five stars by Rivals.
Caleb Williams, Oklahoma’s high-profile quarterback target, was ranked the No. 3 player in the country. The top quarterback in his class, Williams will be choosing between Oklahoma, LSU and Maryland.
Wheaton, the No. 1 running back in the class, is ranked the No. 7 overall recruit in the nation.
Foster is the top OG recruit, and is ranked the ninth overall player. Wheaton and Foster are both out of Texas.
Mario Williams, one of the Sooners main wide receiver targets, shot up 23 spots in Rivals rankings to No 16 overall, and the No. 3 receiver in the class.

“This is a kid that’s going to be a slot receiver and a matchup nightmare at the next level,” Rivals National recruiting Director Mike Farrell said while discussing Williams extra star. “He’s very good at getting off the line, he’s good at route running, he’s very sudden, he gets separation, good hands and all that stuff.”
Oklahoma currently has the No. 52 overall class in 2021 according to Rivals with five commits.
